The Fourth Silk Cities International Conference:

Intangible Heritage, Cities and Communities

along the Silk Roads and beyond...                    Tunis, Tunisia, 4 - 6 March 2024

Interactive Then & Now is a digital project aiming to shed light on a selection of cultural heritage with a local cultural value that may not be world-known or are difficult to access.

Bayt Wakil, the newest in the series, is an architecturally valued building in the residential fabric of Aleppo, Syria with a history of multiple community-serving functions.

Would you like to contribute to the Then and Now Project by helping us identify our next case?
